Mumblings and ponderings amidst the darkening days ...

Things I miss about the United States, and the contents therein;


(In no particular order)

Drink refills.

Palpable patriotism.

A faster pace of life.

Good friends on similiar wavelengths to myself.

Friendliness on a scale very different to home.

More places to eat than houses to live in.

Being a little more unique (Not entirely limited to simply being in the U.S, but still).

Cool accents.

Interesting flag.

Cities bigger than anything I've visited in my life.

A country that despite deeply unpleasant circumstances, still makes it not too horrible an ordeal to visit.

The Visa Waiver Program, that means I can visit without any visa application or bothersome waiting (See above point).

Did I mention the friends who were helplful, impeccably pleasant to be around and extremely interesting? Worth another mention anyway.

Wonderful, forthy, ice-cold milkshakes that simply don't exist back home.

Nathi's pies. She make 'em good, uh-huh fly-boy. *Shuffle to the right, gyrate head a little, then back to the left.*

Beating Scolo at his own game on my first go; "Helm! Bring us about and make all weapons available! Lock on to the U.S.S. Centipede and FIRE!"

And the worst part? Having to leave. :)
